Ston is small charming medieval town with lot of unique surprises. City was main sea salt production site of Dubrovnik Republic in times when salt was precious like gold. Salt pans are the oldest in Europe and the largest preserved ones in the history of the Mediterranean. Salt plants are still in use today and salt producing technology has not changed for centuries. Fleur de sel is a hand harvested sea salt collected by workers who scrape only the top layer of salt before it sinks to the bottom of large salt pans. Dubrovnik Republic build “Ston Walls” second largest walls in the world to protect this area and salt trade. Medieval Gothic City is well preserved up today.
